If Djokovic's 2022 Australian Open tour is a limited suspense series, fans with different minds and melon-eating masses finally waited for the finale yesterday. The male protagonist has experienced a completely different adventure from previous years, and the twists and turns are routine operations, but they actually retire here in the unusual overtime to the two-week-long "qualifier". Djokovic had already boarded the plane to leave for Dubai last night, and the 18th season of djokovic's Australian Open tour series ended early, and the King of Melbourne, who participated in the Australian Open for 17 consecutive years, took a flight home for the first time before the opening of the main tournament.
After a collegial panel of three judges unanimously ruled that Djokovic was "out", the long-simmering farce was finalized. The deported King of Melbourne was unsuccessful and flew across the ocean to the Southern Hemisphere only to stay twice in the detention hotel for several days and train for several days at rodrawall stadium.
Played, played two lawsuits instead of games to go home, lost to a special "opponent" who had no experience in dealing with before, did not need to be separated from the tennis players, but went to court with the Australian federal government. The unexpected nine-time Australian Open winner was unable to accomplish a perfect feat in his back garden this year.
Netflix, which has a keen sense of smell, has already set up a camera to start collecting relevant materials to shoot documentaries, and if you think about it, the script that Hollywood screenwriters may not be able to make up is being staged in front of the eyes of the world in real time, how can the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity not be seized?
1. I know what you want, but I won't give it to you
When the Australian Open policy of requiring players to be vaccinated to compete gradually set the tone, reporters repeatedly confirmed Djokovic's "qualifications": whether he was vaccinated or whether he intended to be vaccinated, Djokovic, who always tended to maintain his natural physical state, always chose to avoid, especially throwing a very unkind answer: "I know what you want, but I will not give my answer." ”
Later disclosed court records revealed the facts, that is, finally admitted that Djokovic, who was not fully vaccinated at the beginning, did not meet the conditions for playing the Australian Open at all, until Watching the basketball game on December 16, Djokovic, who took a picture with Davis on the spot, became a close contact, and on December 18, he was confirmed to be positive through the official new crown test, and he had one of the conditions for the Victorian government's medical exemption, that is, those infected with the new crown virus within 6 months can not be vaccinated. So the much-anticipated King of Melbourne's trip to the Australian Open was naturally and officially put on the agenda.
Carefully combing the timeline, Djokovic went to Marbella, Spain to train after that, soto net school venue and Australian Open venue conditions are similar, he also used the australian open official ball when training: Dunlop. Djokovic also chose the Belgrade online school as a winter training base when he prepared for the 2021 Australian Open.
The words of Pospihir, one of the founders of PTPA, also prove this: "If he had not received a medical exemption from the government, he would never have come to Australia, he would have skipped the Australian Open and stayed with his family, and there would be no farce after that." It couldn't be more obvious that this is a political game in the face of the upcoming elections. He was ready to stay home and he didn't take advantage of the rules to come to Australia. "
He also issued a PTPA statement in solidarity with Djokovic, in addition to scolding Australia for not being worthy of hosting a Grand Slam Sandgren, in this visa storm Djokovic's colleagues and supporters are few, and Kyrgios, who has always been in the media and Djokovic, has become the brave man who stepped forward, to everyone's surprise.
As one of the most famous traffic stars in the tennis world, he has used his social platform several times to speak out for Djokovic, even if he attacked his country Australia and the government, saying that "at this moment he is not proud of being an Australian at all." Djokovic, who needs energy from his colleagues, also gave him a thank-you reply. Other colleagues provided their answers and insights when asked by reporters about the mandatory questions, and most of the players made sense. Some players choose to wait and see, sending heart-warming words to the end.
French player Coney said on social media after the storm: "I know very little about this and can't judge the situation, I know that Djokovic is always the first to stand up for the players, and none of us have stood up for him. Be strong. Players such as Isner, Operka and De Zuch have also issued articles expressing support for Djokovic.
2. Deyo 2022 originally did not qualify for the Australian Open, and the results were different
Djokovic's new season schedule originally did not arrange the Australian Open, and now there is still no Australian Open, serbia's 21st Grand Slam champion will not be produced at this year's Australian Open from beginning to end, the results are the same, just let themselves and the team, friends and family and fan supporters go through a bad and bloody different process, today's men's singles world number one also paid a tragic price, reputation and credibility.
On Jan. 4, Djokovic announced on social media that he had obtained medical exemptions and boarded a flight to Melbourne Park, only to give his own affirmative answer to the world in the final stages, and what awaited him was intercepted and interrogated by border agents, held in a small dark house and confiscated mobile phones and belongings, and poorly eaten and occupied detention hotels.
In the words of his former coach Becker: "I don't think he's ever been in such bad shape a week before a Grand Slam tournament, but that's the truth, he's going to have a tough first week. ”
This time it was the australian federal government, which knew exactly what Djokovic wanted, to give a relentless negative answer, and to cancel Djokovic's visa twice: a double negative. The nine-time Australian Open champion had no choice but to respect the verdict of the final hearing and leave Australia, he did not even have the first week in the mouth of the former coach, and could not stay in Australia for a day.
3. Teaching materials for the front and back of small balls to large balls
After the beginning of the political element to add drama, this original sports theme drama slowly moved towards the legal drama, although sports have nothing to do with politics, but when China and the United States established diplomatic relations, the small ball turned to the big ball achieved a good story of political and sports marriage, and table tennis assumed a positive role at that time. It was Morrison's turn to lead the Australian federal government, and actually played the idea of turning small balls into big balls, wanting to use tennis stars to make a big fuss, and to make a big deal out of political capital for themselves in the election year and divert domestic contradictions.
From the Omicron variant strain began to rage, the situation in Australia, which was previously a model of epidemic prevention, plummeted, and the prestige of the federal government led by Morrison, who ran to vacation when the Australian Open struck the australian open the year before, was even more declining, and Australia had long been boiling under the strict epidemic prevention policy of the blockade. At this time, Djokovic, who openly announced that he had obtained a medical exemption on social platforms, was about to enter the country, which was tantamount to igniting the anger in the hearts of the people, and unfortunately became a political victim of the game between the Australian federal government and the Victorian government. The gun shot the head bird, and the king of Melbourne was like a prey he had voluntarily given to the Morrison government.
Djokovic can be described as a tactical master with a rich arsenal on the tennis court, but there is no doubt that he is "not smart enough" off the court this time he has become a pawn in other people's political games.
Not to mention Morrison's statement on personal social platforms: rules are rules, and no one can override the rules. As a result, what he called the rule was found by Djokovic's lawyer Wood for procedural injustice. Then to the Australian Open draw cancelled for no reason, and then only postponed for more than an hour, Morrison suddenly and rarely came forward to speak, and when we were finished, we suddenly realized that the Australian prime minister used the Australian Open as his personal political show, although djokovic's name was not mentioned throughout the whole process. We don't know how many votes he can get back from this political game.
Interestingly, Serbian President Vucic also made a generous statement the day before yesterday. He has supported Djokovic since Australia first cancelled djokovic visas, and he is puzzled that an Australian immigration minister can use his personal executive power to overturn the judicial decisions of judges, questioning the judicial independence of the self-proclaimed rule of law in Australia, which is a self-proclaimed country with separate powers, and bluntly saying that this is a persecution of Djokovic.
(The picture shows Djokovic's name flag hanging in Belgrade last night, indicating that it should be helped)
It is worth noting that Serbia's Constitutional Amendment Day is just around the corner, and Vucic, who called on citizens to vote on judicial independence constitutional amendments on January 16, has used this living case to serve this purpose. He dared to respond to the prime ministers of big countries as a leader of a small country: "I know that our [justice] is better than yours, because I am telling the truth, and you know that we are telling the truth." "The two are compared, and the judgment is made."
4. Dejo's "Crime and Punishment", the victim's guilt theory is unjust
Djokovic was a victim of the incident, but it is undeniable that he was equally an imperfect victim. From the good intentions of the Adriatic exhibition game virus infection incident to watching the basketball game become a close contact and still do not wear masks to attend the event to present the awards to the children, especially knowing that the new crown test is positive or accepting the team newspaper interview as scheduled, and even filling in the wrong 14-day travel history when entering the country, it has also given people a handle, and the piles have caused a fatal blow to his public image.
However, there is a saying that in addition to ticking the wrong box when entering the country, other things happened in Serbia, and even Serbian Prime Minister Brnabić, who had previously supported him, also came forward to criticize, saying that he would investigate and deal with his negligent behavior. To put it mildly, the dog depends on the owner, and the prime minister has also made a harsh criticism of the Australian federal government's public release of Djokovic's medical records. But weak countries have no diplomacy, and the powerful Australian immigration minister Hawke, who issued eviction orders, ended Djokovic's Australian Open trip and ended the farce without any evidence.
Djokovic's "crime" is that he does not know and pay enough attention to the new crown virus, even if it has been two years since the outbreak of the epidemic. In order to avoid attacks from opponents, athletes choose not to disclose personal medical privacy is blameless, but today is different from the past, the new crown virus is highly contagious and deadly, and it is indeed his personal freedom to choose not to vaccinate in the epidemic era, but as a sports public figure who travels around the world, Djokovic no longer enjoys the freedom that ordinary people want, and does not need to be a pacesetter in epidemic prevention but the obligations that need to be fulfilled are still lacking.
Djokovic's imprecise views before the advent of the vaccine were portrayed by people with hearts into anti-vaccine people, and he himself has never been able to wash away his "grievances" through a firm position and effective means, which is a serious negligence of his influence and exemplary role of his public figures, although some media and black fans are laughing at the "global away", at this time, the immigration minister and the court in turn say how influential Djokovic's words are.
Djokovic accepted the "punishment" of spending several days in the detention hotel for several days of sad and undignified days, twice being cancelled visas and finally being deported without the opportunity to participate in the Australian Open, and being damaged by various verbal criticisms and images of public opinion. What's more serious is the possibility of not being able to enter Australia for three years, which would be a more cruel and painful punishment for the nine-time Australian Open champions, after all, the King of Melbourne is no longer young, playing for a year less than a year.
Djokovic's lack of caution in epidemic prevention before, a lot of controversy over various inappropriate and unstable words and deeds, coupled with the fact that some irresponsible media added oil and vinegar to label him as an anti-vaccine, which added a fire to this storm, and finally made the Serbian king pay a heavy price, and things did not have to go to such an embarrassing point.
The victim guilt theory lacks justice, when criticizing Djokovic, we must not forget what the perpetrators did, the federal government led by Morrison, who rebelled and has no credibility, has had a bad record in the past few years, not only has diplomatic and economic relations with our country fallen to a freezing point, but it is also unpopular in Australia, and this signing storm will not add points to his international image.
Djokovic's lawyer argued in court that Djokovic's non-vaccination could not be equated with anti-vaccination, and it seemed that the well-spoken Wood had a chance to win, but his arm was not on his thigh, and the power was up to him.
5. The Minister of Immigration has used the state's power to protect Australian citizens on Serbian tennis stars
The shrewd Minister Hawke squeezed Djokovic's appeal time, choosing to cancel Djokovic's visa for the second time ten minutes before the end of work on Friday, and chose a reason with a low threshold: the possibility of endangering public health and good order, rather than the above-listed crimes.
The sharp Kjörgos hit the nail on the head: "I'm on Djokovic's side. He is not a threat to public health, he is not a weapon of mass destruction. He came here to play tennis and he didn't hurt anyone. ”
Because the reason why Deyo won the first time was because the procedure for canceling the visa was unjust, there was no time for Deyo at that time, and the exemption itself was in line with the rules, and it was definitely not a loophole for Deyo to take advantage of the rules. So Hawke was very clever in giving Victoria decency, giving him a general and hard-to-argue reason, but it didn't really matter.
Even in the collegial panel, Deyo's lawyer, Wood, laid out the facts and took the evidence and the government lawyer's long-winded personal judgment of the immigration minister was simply untenable and untenable. Because hawke's second cancellation procedure is legal, the immigration minister with the "power of life and death" does not need evidence at all as long as he satisfies this, and the three judges simply cannot revoke the immigration minister's decision. Djokovic has been in the role of a weakman from the beginning, barrister Wood is useless, and the defeat is completely predictable.
6. Big stars who are used as political chips affect small people
The 38-year-old Czech player Volakova was undoubtedly "affected" by Djokovic, when she chose to leave Australia immediately, and after waking up, she said that she did not know that she had the right to appeal, and now she has taken up the weapon of law to claim compensation from the Australian Tennis Association.
The third person to be expelled was coach Zelda Rusik, who bluntly said that Djokovic was a victim of this political game: "People are making all kinds of ugly comments. Suffice it to say: when we apply for a visa, we have to meet these conditions. Noroak and I were no exceptions, we worked according to their rules and we were allowed in. They can get political chips in him, not small people like us, and that's why this happens. We just took advantage of the opportunity they gave us. ”
"In my opinion, he was an ideal candidate [as a political chip] before the election. If they let me and the Czechs in, why didn't they let him in? I think Tennis Australia wants him to play like we do, but everyone knows him. Without Novak, none of this would have happened to us. ”
If Deyo, like Volakova and Zeldarusik, had chosen to enter Australia without announcing medical exemptions, would the three of them have been able to participate in this Australian Open and then return home? Will Djokovic escape the reporter's questioning? Will politicians like Morrison and Hawke let him go?
In December last year, the Australian Open director Terry later softened his attitude, saying that as long as Deyo could come to play the Australian Open, he did not have to tell him whether it was vaccination or medical exemption, but unfortunately the past would not be repeated.
7. Taili, Australian Tennis Association, Victoria can not escape the blame, do not get vaccinated to play a Grand Slam is as difficult as ascending to the sky
Terry did not respond immediately after the accident, and only came out a few days later to say that the constantly updated information of the government had caused the chaos, claiming that he would not blame anyone and hoped that Djokovic would participate in the Australian Open. After the end of this Australian Open, can Terry still sit safely in his place? The Victorian government and the Australian Internet Association are equally to blame for this visa storm.
Djokovic, who was caught in the political womb, still bravely struck the pebble with the pebble when his visa was revoked for the second time, as Judge Kelly, who first ruled him, said: the stakes have increased. In the end, Hawke, who held the scepter, waved a big hand, and Djokovic, who was already a chess piece, could only turn into an outcast and fail miserably.
I have to say that Djokovic would not have been targeted if he had been vaccinated earlier, causing trouble for himself. Aiming to win the most Grand Slam titles, can he still insist so willfully on his position of not vaccinating? This year's environment seems to have not allowed it, I hope he can deeply reflect and learn from this incident, see the situation and make the most correct decision with the team, and take the last stage of his career.
8. Depart who the sun rises as usual and look forward to the final winner of the happy Grand Slam
Tennis can still rotate without the big three, the earth can still rotate without tennis, the life of the earthlings will continue to operate as usual, obviously life and health are much more important than recreational tennis, and no one can override it.
The Australian Open, without the King of Melbourne, opened as usual, but there is no doubt that the Australian Open, which lacks nine-time champions, will certainly lose some of its highlights. Then again, if he can compete, what are the chances of Djokovic, who copied half of last year's difficult signing at last year's US Open, after all this tossing and turning? But how do we know that the King of Melbourne, with the Big Heart, can't do it?
Now that assumption is meaningless, Djokovic's chances of returning to the Australian Open next year are slim, and the Australian Open series featuring him next season may be difficult to determine.
In fact, we just want to enjoy a tennis feast at the beginning of the year, this Australian Open brought a lot of haze and negative emotions to some fans in the first two weeks of the opening, and also took away a lot of the heat of the past two weeks of warm-up matches. There are also many famous players who will wave passionately at Melbourne Park, and the real winner of the Australian Open after this storm will lift the Norman Brooks Challenge Cup at Rodrawall Stadium, can the happy Grand Slam unveiled today live up to expectations?
